Storyline
Top baseball pitcher Bingo Long (Billy Dee Williams) is fed up
with how his Negro League team owner treats him, so he forms his own
lineup, recruiting big-hitting Leon Carter (James Earl Jones) and
Charlie Snow (Richard Pryor), who dreams of playing in the majors.
Boycotted by black teams, Long's outfit play minor
league white teams, earning more attention as entertainers than as
players. However, their success wins them a chance to play again in the
Negro League, this time as equals.
Storyline
A federal agent, Nick Allen (Billy Dee Williams, The Final Comedown and The Bingo Long Traveling All-Stars & Motor Kings) whose daughter dies of a drug overdose is determined to destroy the ring that supplied her.

The motley crew of angry American citizens includes construction worker, Mike Willmer (Richard Pryor, Which Way Is Up? and Greased Lightning); call girls Sherry Nielson (Gwen Wells); rogue cop, Dutch Schiller (Warren J. Kemmerling); college professor Barry Strong (Paul Hampton) and the kindly old Jewish couple, Ida (Janet Brandt) and Herman (Sid Melton), who want to inflict Old Testament revenge upon the syndicate.
